I do think it's crazy that since they have the fix they don't release it but it's easy to bring back the older verison. 

I doubt that one bug-fix alone justifies releasing a new version. 

Unless the bug is truly catastrophic, I guess …

I am trying to run actions that I use everyday and never had trouble with.  Today, I tried to run two actions and they won't work.  When I press play, the action starts the process and then I get a popup that says "the command 'copy merged' is unavailable" or something like that, and stops the whole process.  Please help!

I have a custom Photoshop batch file (resizes and saves files) that I've used for years. Suddenly, for reasons I don't understand, now when I run the batch it will not save the file, displaying this error instead:

An error was encountered when batching. Check the error log file for details.

The error log file has this entry:
Error: Could not complete the command because of a program error. (-1)

Any suggestions? Thanks. Photoshop 24.3, Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621

Many of us are in the same boat. Apparently adobe has a fix for it but is
delaying the update for some unknown reason. Many of us are put out by this
delay in fixing it.

I FIXED IT.

 

A month ago when the problem appeared I couldn't go back to the previous PS version, but a few days ago they updated the creative cloud and now the '' INSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS'' Now appeared.

I'm back on track and I can now use my actions!!!!

I think releasing a new version for every single bug-fix would make for a pretty gruelling release calendar. 

It would seem reasonable to me if a product team like Photoshop’s would not release new versions at a pace of more than one a month.

@frankg_photos most PS releases are a phased roll out - keep checking 24.4 is being rolled out and solves this issue.

Sometimes it takes a few days for everyone to get the updates, although Adobe hasn't officially 

announced it yet, some users have started getting the 24.4 update.
